That was yesterday and was linked to earlier in this thread.

What? Yes, it's incredibly weird and nonsensical that Shambhala makes their students vow not to have any other teachers. This is a strategy of containment and damage control. Do you think that strategy was specifically meant to contain sex scandals/abuse allegations, or just damage control as a who...

Forget the sex activity of any individual. If Shambhala really makes people vow to not have any other teachers that puts it in the same catagory as the NKT imo.

If you follow Namkhai Norbu Rinpoche, there's always Alendar: http://alendar.org/

It also has haircutting days as well as a large amount of other astrological advice.

It's a nice app. Hope they add Naga and Sang offering days.
